There are about 28871 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Canada. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of PRA023 in participants with moderately to severely active Crohn's Disease. After the completion of the 12-week induction period, all participants have the option to continue in the open-label extension for another 38 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) monotherapy, followed by chemotherapy, followed by pembrolizumab consolidation. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the complete response (CR) rate at the end of study intervention according to Lugano 2014 response criteria is higher than conventional chemotherapy.
This study is an open-label, multicenter Phase II study of capivasertib administered orally in participants with Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL).
A small pilot study comparing different blood thinners (non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants [NOACs] and warfarin) will be conducted in people at risk for blood clots after open-heart surgery. This study will help us design a much bigger study to test the effectiveness and safety of different blood thinners in people after open-heart surgery. The study will test the following hypotheses: (1) Our standardized use of different blood thinners is feasible in patients early after cardiac surgery. (2) NOACs are safe to use early after cardiac surgery.
To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of oral dersimelagon.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab (MK-7684A) in hematological malignancies. This study will also evaluate the overall response rate (ORR), the duration of response (DOR), and disease control rate (DCR) following administration of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab. In addition, this study will characterize pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of vibostolimab (MK-7684).
This will be a prospective observational study of lactating mothers who are planning to, have scheduled or have received vaccination against SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19 vaccine). Mothers may have delivered at Mount Sinai Hospital or may be from the general public recruited by social media or word of mouth. As the study participants will be lactating mothers, they will not be under the care of the investigators. Due to lack of information, we are unsure of an appropriate sample size but envision we will recruit at least 10 women each immunized with the approved mRNA vaccines (e.g. Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines) and in the future at least two other vaccines (e.g. Oxford-AstraZeneca) as they are approved and become available. Milk samples will be analyzed for the presence of antibody to SARS-CoV-2 using the Anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgG and IgA). These analyses will be conducted in the Department of Microbiology at Sinai Health following validation of the procedures in human milk.
The 'Investigating the Impact of Alzheimer's Disease Diagnostics in British Columbia' (IMPACT-AD BC) study is an observational, longitudinal cohort study that will examine the impact of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing for core Alzheimer's disease biomarkers on clinical decision making, diagnosis and health system utilization. In addition to data collection from physicians, the study will engage patients and their care partners in assessing the value of biomarker testing. IMPACT-AD BC investigators hypothesize that testing for CSF biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in individuals with cognitive impairment, as part of routine clinical care, improves clinical management, diagnostic certainty, diagnostic accuracy, and healthcare resource utilization, and that patients and their care partners find the information valuable in planning for the future.
The purpose of this study is to assess nivolumab plus relatlimab fixed-dose combination (FDC) versus nivolumab alone in participants with completely resected stage III-IV melanoma.
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis affects 3-4% of the Canadian population, of which about 10% will need a brace treatment during pubertal growth spurt. Our team has developed an innovative conception method for brace design by optimizing for the immediate in-brace correction. The model is customized to each patient. In this project, the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of this platform's customized treatment and validate its clinical application.
